Greetings! I am going to build my first drone with custom-selected parts. I have a good bit of experience with building drones but have mainly built RTF kits instead of selecting all my parts. I plan on this being an Ardupilot build. I hoping to get other's opinions on any parts I should upgrade to a higher quality, parts I should keep the same, or any incompatibilities that I missed. I'd also like to note that I went for the cheaper end of products with the intention of upgrading later, but I don't have a set budget.

  • Frame: DJI F450(nylon, built in pdb, 280g)
  • Motors: Racerstar BR2212(1000kv, 208g)
  • Props: 1045(plastic, 20g)
  • ESCs: Hobbywing Skywalker(30a, proprietary programming tool, 132g)
  • Autopilot: Matek H743 Slim(7g)
  • PDB: Matek PDB-XPW(BEC, might not be needed, 7g)
  • Receiver: RadioMaster RP1 ELRS(2.2g)
  • Battery: Pre-owned LiPo(11.1v, 3s, ~300g)
